The current criminal procedure law of Ukraine stipulates that a witness is obliged to give a true testimony during pre-trial investigation and trial, however, the legislator made an exception for this by specifying the categories of persons who have been granted immunity from immunity, ie they are released by law. testify. The article deals with the problems of law and practice regarding the prohibition of the interrogation of a notary as a witness in criminal proceedings and the release of him from the obligation to keep the notarial secret by the person who entrusted him with the information which is the subject of this secret. The notion of notarial secrecy is proposed to be changed, since the subject of this secrecy is not only information that became known to the notary public from the interested person, but also those information that the notary received from other sources in the performance of their professional duties, as well as the procedural activity of the notary himself, is aimed at achieving a certain legal result. The proposal made in the legal literature to supplement the CPC of Ukraine with the provisions that a notary is subject to interrogation as a witness on information that constitutes a notarial secret, if the notarial acts were declared illegal in accordance with the procedure established by law The proposal to increase the list of persons who are not subject to interrogation as witnesses about the information constituting a notarial secret is substantiated, this clause is proposed to be supplemented by provisions that, apart from the notary, are not notarized, other notarials, notaries as well as the persons mentioned in Part 3 of Art. 8 of the Law of Ukraine "On Notary". Amendments to the current CPC of Ukraine by the amendments proposed in this publication will significantly improve the law prohibiting the interrogation of a notary as a witness in criminal proceedings, as well as improve certain theoretical provisions of the institute of witness immunity in criminal proceedings.

The author of the research provides the explanation of the concept of criminal proceedings, its content, explores and analyzes the possibilities of amending the incrimination in court hearing process and its application in practice by studying and analyzing the legal literature, legal regulation and practice materials. Researching the Criminal Proceedings Law paragraphs 461 and 462 application in practice, the author has identified that public prosecutors, amending the incrimination in court hearing process, often indicate only the paragraph, without pointing the way the incrimination was amended, which does not allow to draw a conclusion if the way of incrimination amending has been understood correctly, as well as the incrimination amendment is used to clarify the incrimination and correct misspelling mistakes that have been made.The author of the research makes suggestions for improvement of mentioned regulations, because the incrimination must provide full understanding of its essence, without searching for additional explanations in criminal case materials.

The criminal process in cases involving minors has its own peculiarities, which is explained by the need to ensure the rights of minors. At the same time, the current legislation does not always have a systemic character; a number of norms contradict each other. The specifics of Russian criminal justice in cases involving minors is a ground for discussion among scientists and practitioners. One of the controversial issues is the mechanism for ensuring the participation of a teacher and a psychologist in criminal proceedings in cases involving minors. The author concludes that the rules for the participation of a teacher or psychologist in criminal proceedings should not differ depending on the procedural status of a minor (accused, victim, witness). When considering the status of a teacher and a psychologist, the author comes to the conclusion that it is inexpedient to identify them. The teacher should be recognized as an independent participant in the process on the part of the defense, and it is advisable to consider the psychologist as a specialist.

The chapter examines to what extent international criminal proceedings enable discursive justice. It draws on performative theories (e.g. Julie Stone Peters) and semiotics to show that proceedings have symbolic, narrative, didactic, and transformative functions. They involve a stage, a plot, audiences, and scripting. In legal literature, these features are often associated with negative attributes, such as ‘show trials’ in the political sense. However, performance is not necessarily something negative. As Niklas Luhmann has demonstrated, role play, that is, the exercise of certain ascribed or expected roles in proceedings, may have certain positive effects. The chapter demonstrates how different agents in the criminal process (e.g. Prosecution, witnesses, Defence, victims, judges) have used narratives to convey messages to different audiences. It argues that international criminal proceedings encompass more performative, rather than truly discursive elements, due to their adversarial structures.

Access to justice is a fundamental principle of criminal proceedings and one of the most important guarantees of criminal proceedings participants’ rights. Nevertheless, nowadays there is no single approach to concept and content of this legal category. The reason is a large number of related and similar terms which apply to domestic legislation of Ukraine and international legal acts, as well as lack of established scientific grounds regarding legal nature of access to justice, its purpose and essence. Thus, the purpose of the article is: 1) to analyze current legislation, international standards and scientific background in the domain of access to justice; 2) to define concept and content of access to justice in criminal proceedings of Ukraine. It needs to be mentioned that in comparison with civil, commercial and administrative proceedings, criminal procedural law regulates social relations which involve the most substantial interference with human rights. The high level of interference and limitations surely generates requirements for establishing in criminal proceedings certain guarantees (including access to justice), which have to be effective and efficient. However, this cannot be achieved without thorough and solid legal terminology which should exclude ambiguous interpretation of any legal categories and provide a basis for their proper understanding. Therefore, criminal proceedings require additional attention even to small details: subtleties of juridical technique, language constructs and so forth. In this regard, as it has already been mentioned, concept and content of access to justice in criminal proceedings of Ukraine remains problematic. It is concluded that the concept of access to justice (in criminal proceedings and in general) is insufficiently explored and current legislation contains a number of similar definitions with uncertain difference remaining between them. The same applies to the content of access to justice which has ambiguous interpretations in legal literature. It is suggested to streamline legal terminology in regard to access to justice.
